Fourth Floor Common Room, evening

[svetocha-blooms.livejournal.com]

Vaguely out of sorts over the weird voicemails she'd gotten, Dru wandered out to the common room and grabbed the remote.

It was Saturday night, there had to be some bad movie on to watch.

After causing trouble hanging out with Roy for a while, it was a very chipper Bobby who was making his way back to the third floor when he was distracted by the sound of television in the fourth floor's common room.

"Hey, Dru," he wandered in, giving her a cheerful little wave. "What's on?"

Dru recognized that voice. "Bad sci-fi movie. A hurricane's about to hit Chicago. And for the record? I will not be flashing you."

"Hey roomie," Hayley said, bouncing into the common room. "How ya doin'?"

[svetocha-blooms.livejournal.com]

"Playing spot the next victim," Dru said, pointing at the TV. "The cranky old lady? Definitely gonna die."

"Man, people really like watching people die, huh?" Hayley said, starting to wonder about the general sanity of the school population.

"Nah, it's more like playing spot the cliched character," she replied. "I don't think they've had an original thought in Hollywood in years."

Which, had Bobby not figured out the phone craziness, might've normally made him flail a lot.

Instead, he just cracked up laughing. "I'm so disappointed," he said, clutching at his heart as he found a place to sit.

"What the hell was that about?" she asked, still not getting it.

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"How many years?" Hayley asked. "Since my time, you think?" She pondered this. "Movies coming out when I'm from seemed plenty original."

After some time staring Tino down at Caritas until the bartender felt suitably ashamed about the kind of messages he left for people, Bruce made his way back to the dorms when he decided to stop into a common room.

What Tino said was still disgusting. He was hoping that talking to enough people would help him forget it.

"What's on?" he asked.

"I don't know. But it seems like every other movie coming out these days is a remake of something that came out twenty years ago." Her father bitched about it constantly.

"I'm not sure if you'll think it's better or worse that the message wasn't actually meant to go to you," Bobby informed her.

[svetocha-blooms.livejournal.com]

"Hey Bruce. It's a really bad disaster movie. A hurricane's hitting Chicago," Dru replied. "I'm playing spot the next victim."

[svetocha-blooms.livejournal.com]

"Maybe better? I mean hell," Dru laughed, "Maybe somebody likes flashing you. In which case, who am I to say anything?"

[longislandiceme]

"Something with questionable science!" Bobby said cheerfully. "And ridiculously overdramatic acting." Which combined meant he was all over that.

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Oh, so my time is just fine then," Hayley said, somewhat proud. "You just mess it up in the future."

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

Hayley just giggled. "Hi Bruce!"

[longislandiceme]

"The world would be a better place if we had more people as open-minded as you," Bobby told Dru solemnly.

"Realistically, any number of people would die," Bruce noted. "The area's completely unprepared for that kind of weather front since similar weather events only rarely make it into the Great Lakes region."

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"It's not completely unheard of that hurricane-like weather systems would make it into that area," Bruce said. "I have no doubt you're right about the acting, though."

"People need to learn to just mind their own business," she shrugged. "Life would be much simpler."

"You just need to learn to dial properly so the appropriate person gets the call."

[svetocha-blooms.livejournal.com]

"To listen to some people? Yeah, we do," Dru agreed.

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"Hayley," Bruce said, staying slightly on guard. "How are you tonight?"

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I'm just great," Hayley said. "My friends definitely surprised me today."

[svetocha-blooms.livejournal.com]

"In real life you're probably right," she agreed. "But this is just a bad movie. Don't ruin the game."
